Monitoring: The training of monitors and invigilators focused on the manual but with emphasis on the moral obligation to ensure that learners were ready for the examination and would be able to write a credible examination. There were 120 monitors taking into account all Deputy Chief Education Specialists (DCESs), Assistant Directors (ADs), First Education Specialists (FESs), Superintendent of Education Management (SEMs), Chief Superintendent Education Management (CSEMs) and Chief Education Specialists (CESs). For some of the known centres the Department would apply the strategy of fixed monitors during the examinations of specific subjects. Signing of secrecy forms by Chief Invigilators would be undertaken on 21 August 2012.
